Eastern High School Mission

Eastern High School aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Our students will be guided by the International Baccalaureate philosophy and its challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.

International Baccalaureate Organization Mission

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Overview of IBO

The IB curriculum provides a cohesive and comprehensive liberal arts and sciences program of study for highly motivated juniors and seniors of differing educational backgrounds, abilities and interest. It is not just a set of examinations, but a rigorous pre-university program, which will provide the basis for life-long education. IB aims to provide a balanced program, which stimulates thought and creativity and enhances the international perspective of students. Students who satisfy the demands of the program demonstrate a strong commitment to learning, both in terms of mastery of content and the development of skills. The purpose of the IB curriculum is to:

educate young people to act intelligently and responsibly in a complex society
ensure knowledge of traditional academic disciplines and of the individual’s own heritage, while fostering inquisitiveness and openness to new ideas
equip students with a genuine understanding of themselves and others, heightening the capacity for tolerance and engendering respect for different points of view.

Within the IB program students can choose one of two pathways: a) the full IB Diploma or b) one or more IB Certificates. At Eastern High School these courses offer challenging curriculum that contribute to one of the strongest educational experiences available.

What is the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)? www.ibo.org

The IBO was created in Geneva, Switzerland in 1963 by a group of member schools of the International Schools Association. These schools formed the International Schools Examination Syndicated (ISES) to plan a full curriculum and examination system. In 1968 the ISES changed its name to the International Baccalaureate Organization and was given legal status under the Swiss Civil Code.

The IBO Headquarters is located in Geneva, Switzerland, and the IBO Curriculum and Assessment Center is in Cardiff, Wales. The IBO has regional offices in North and South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. IB North America, the support office of Eastern High School, is located in New York City. Eastern High School became a member IB school in 2006.

The IB diploma is highly regarded for entry into universities throughout the world and for advanced placement at many colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Oxford University was the first university to accept the IB diploma as an entrance qualification. Now universities world-wide recognize the diploma graduate as having completed one of the finest liberal arts educations available.
